Her account was banned in 2022 and Davis alleged that she was banned for taking critical positions against feminism. Davis is now known primarily for her cultural and political commentary on her YouTube channel JustPearlyThings.
On her YouTube channel, Davis has conducted street interviews and interviewed prominent personalities in the manosphere online space. She also hosts "The Pre-Game Show" podcast. Davis regularly discusses issues relating to modern sexual relations between men and women and the dating and marriage markets.

## Political views

Davis is a conservative, and she describes herself as an "anti-feminist". She advocates traditional and conservative positions in relation to dating, sex and marriage. Her positions have been influenced by her study of economics and her views on the supply and demand dynamics of dating markets. Davis has alleged that through their dating and sexual behaviour, modern women have effectively chosen "soft polygamy" as the outcome of the dating marketplace. Her perspectives have been influenced by the economist Thomas Sowell and the conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro. She has been described by critics as the "female Andrew Tate" due to her extensive critiques of female behaviours and expectations.
Most of Davis's cultural and political commentary pertains to dating and sex relations between heterosexual men and women, but she sometimes takes positions on broader political issues and makes broader criticisms of female behaviour and privilege. This has included arguments in relation to inequality between male and female responsibility in relation to suffrage. On June 28, 2023, she stated that "the courts, the legal system, all of society is basically pandering and simping for women." In an interview with Ethan Klein on the H3 Podcast, she stated that "if feminists want the right to vote, right, then it should come with the draft." In the same interview, she argued that divorce should be illegal.
Davis posted a now-deleted video in July 2023 called "Why Can't We Talk About the Jews?", which was widely criticized for containing anti-Semitic tropes. In an interview with Piers Morgan on Piers Morgan Uncensored, she stated that the song was about cancel culture and free speech rather than anti-Semitism. She also characterizes public perceptions surrounding slavery in the United States to be embellished.
